Android Trio: With aesthetic and a singular genre-bending sound.

Android Trio - Other Worlds

Equally based in Oakland, LA and Brooklyn, Android Trio boldly mines the canons of progressive rock, fusion, IDM and modern metal for a uniquely melded group aesthetic and a singular, genre-bending sound. The album Other Worlds is the band`s last effort and the music is brimming with playful virtuosity. Fascinating rhythms, and no-holds-barred experimentation. The band is inspired by Frank Zappa and Grandmothers and many, many more bands and artist.

Ironically, the global pandemic that left the trio unable to meet in the flesh for more than a year also allowed them to make a record that blends grand statements with rhythmic complexity. «Because we weren’t limited by studio costs and all that, we just went hog-wild on overdubs», the guitarist explains. «So we were able to make an album to a level of excess that’s more like the things we grew up listening to. Kind of like Gentle Giant, or Genesis: this huge sound».
